point of focus

when i feel low i have some tools to help myself feel better. i thought i'd share the one i've been using most lately. my sister had a daughter a year ago. little winnie is the light of my life. i find that looking at photos of her smiling face can sooth me. i keep at least one in every room. i have a particularly happy one in the bathroom as that is where i feel most frustrated. having a child's smile to focus on helps me calm my frustrations. what would you use as a point of focus?

Hey, Liesl- Just found your blog from your new Facebook connection with David. First I want to say that I'm sorry we're so bad at keeping in touch- things have been tough around here lately (since David lost his job in June) and we weren't very good at contact even before then. Just wanted to say I like this idea. I have a friend who was diagnosed about 8 months ago and is having a particularly bad week- I think I will suggest this to her, even though her symptoms aren't too bad yet. When she is ready, I will point her to your blog. Thanks for bringing some insight and inspiration to help me help her.... K. Wennberg
